No one will know the impact that the hit (and subsequent near-death experience) might have had on Petracca's confidence or hardness at the ball. Not suggesting he won't be a great player still but he might lose a few %
I did a quick calc and came up with pick 20 approx, assuming no f/s bids or compo or whatever next year (which of course we know won't happen in reality).
Ginni + 967 points in for Hawks
1887 points in for Pies
= 920 diff = approx pick 20
IF Pies drop 3 spots and Hawks jump 3 to 13th it...
GCS gave pick 7 to Geelong for Bowes and his remaining contract which was rumoured to be 850k/year for 2 more years (back-ended contract).
Hypothetically Geelong would generally pay above the average wage (406k/year) for a former top-10 pick who would be playing senior footy, again...
Surely we can't be serious regarding travel times or whatever?
He buys or rents a place in Yarraville, 15mins to work and 45 mins from Geelong (a trip he might make once or perhaps twice a week).
The 'go-home' factor is bullshit when it's literally 45 minutes down the road.
If you look at the trades in isolation, most people agree that Henry would be worth a pick at or slightly better than which he was drafted at, say late first.
Stephens, through lack of opportunity and whatever else, many people suggesting Cats get a late 2nd or early 3rd?
Adding those...
While most people would agree that Grundy isn't worth the 950k when teams in this era aren't relying heavily on grade A rucks anyway, and we've got a cheaper option in Cameron who is well and truly pulling his weight... I can't see many people arguing that he's not worth 650k/year which is...
Bill Burr sums it up best imo.
For the conspiracy theorists who believe that the vaccine is reducing the population... why would they intentionally harm the so-called 'sheeple' who are following the rules and doing what they're asked?
Imagine what they'd be left to govern... A whole bunch of...
I like the concept, would be a nice change, and seemingly a 'fairer' way of conducting business.
However I also see some potential issues:
1. How do you ensure that a sufficient number of rookies are selected? Ie. All teams go all-in and only 30-odd players are drafted. I know that clubs need...
Pretty happy as a Pies supporter. We got shit done, seemingly weren't bent over, no huge media leaks or press conference disasters (so far!)...
Points for Daics, flexibility and picks stocked for next year to make a move potentially on a key forward...
Things seem positive.
A nice change!
As far as I know, the compensation is based off of the player's contract, not the quality of the player, right?
So if a club is willing to pay up for him, we get compensated at a higher rate, rightly or wrongly.
If he's in the top 5% of earners, it's a first-round compo 1 spot after the club's...
If he did go next year for nothing, then we would get a compo pick for him, which would likely be a first-rounder (prob top-5 given our likely result next season) anyway based on the salary he could command on the open market. No way we trade him for any less than that this year if it's of no...
Similar question to the original; who will benefit/struggle most (comparable to 2020 output) from the change back to longer quarters?
*Also, what's the big knock on the Brown boys? I don't mind them!
I disagree, but then that's my bias. Next 2-3 years probably, but not 10. Blues will need to make finals this year or their good players will start to look elsewhere. How long can Cripps carry them on his own? Williams, Saad etc should help that, but if they don't have a strong impact then shit...
Agreed. Geelong and Richmond have managed better than us, 100%. Your example though was Carlton.
In saying that, there are surely some Richmond players who can/will/do earn much more than they should be, which is fine when they have flags behind them now. If Pies had won in 2018/2019 no one...
Easy to manage the salary cap when you haven't been within coo-ee of finals for a decade I'd think.
Rightly or wrongly, Collingwood threw cash at players to keep them together for a flag tilt, which nearly paid off in 2018 and injuries/other circumstances ****ed our 2019/2020 efforts.
